  1. "As the WebP image format exists currently, on Mozilla Rejects WebP Image Format, Google Adds It · · Score: 2

    I won't accept a patch for it. If and when that changes, I'll happily re-evaluate my decision!"
    Quality community driven, bottom up open source software at work!

  2. Re:Was it worth it? on PlayStation Network Hack Will Cost Sony $170M · · Score: 1

    We must be swift as a coursing river!
    With all the force of a great typhoon!
    With all the strength of a raging fire
    Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

  3. Re:Wrong approach on Should a Web Startup Go Straight To the Cloud? · · Score: 1
    Indeed.
    • Real Programmers do List Processing in Fortran.
    • Real Programmers do String Manipulation in Fortran.
    • Real Programmers do Accounting (if they do it at all) in Fortran.
    • Real Programmers do Artificial Intelligence programs in Fortran.

    If you can't do it in Fortran, do it in assembly language. If you can't do it in assembly language, it isn't worth doing.

  4. I live in Vegas so on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When the Rapture Comes? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll probably have to check the internet to see if it actually happened tomorrow night.

  5. Re:Apple Stores on Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm planning on going on a pilgrimage.

  6. Re:Macs have never been malware/virus proof on Apple Support Forums Suggest Malware Explosion · · Score: 1

    Apple's app store on the mac should provide a similar safety mechanism. The walled garden is coming.

  7. Perhaps we saved one hundred thousand lives on The Cost of US Security · · Score: 3, Interesting

    at the mere cost of 30 million dollars a head.

  8. Re:Fuck the monarchy on Volunteer 'Cyber Scouts' Censor Web In Thailand · · Score: 1

    In the name of the great king Bhumibol, I shall mod this comment down!

  9. Re:Missed the point on Google Engineers Deny Hack Exploited Chrome · · Score: 1

    The folks at google made the same mistake John Hammond did. They thought they could contain the beast, keep it in a wall of electric fences, and suddenly its safe for everyone to see. But life will find a way.

  10. Re:Sony Hack on Mainstream Media Looks At Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Nonsense, I can define what anonymous does in two words: nothing noteworthy.

  11. Only counting redirects on Drudge Generates More News Traffic Than Social Media · · Score: 1

    so maybe folks on facebook just don't rtfa.

  12. Re:web 101: don't run unknown javascripts on Poisoned Google Image Searches Becoming a Problem · · Score: 1

    Only run javascript on approved sites? I've tried this before, and to be honest it makes using the internet a pain. Instead, I prefer to, oh you know, not run an operating system that is susceptible to malware attacks.

  13. I say put up a bounty on Patent 5,893,120 Reduced To Pure Math · · Score: 1

    on a program that automatically reduces patents to math. Ah wait that was already patented...

  14. Indeed, spend time hunting down real criminals on Department of Justice: FBI Too Focused On Child Porn · · Score: 2

    like people who smoke weed or download metallica music.

  15. Re:Trolls on Punish Bad Users With Drupal Misery · · Score: 1

    This prompts the question: has this already happened to me in "real life"?

  16. Re:Theory, speculation, bullshit. on PSN Outage Continues, Console Hack Claimed To Be Responsible · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the network is down because of aliens trying to connect to it.

  17. Netflix surpasses comcast on Netflix Subscriber Base Eclipses Comcast's · · Score: 0

    and comcast picks up the bill for the bandwidth. Keep on pouring that salt in the wound.

  18. Summary is sensational nonsense on Greenpeace Says the Internet Emits Too Much CO2 · · Score: 1

    Greenpeace is not attacking the internet. They're simply trying to get big server farms to start thinking about environmental impact. None of the bias in the summary is in TFA.

  19. Personally I use hartree units on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    I just find it so much easier to picture how far away something is by picturing a sequence of bohr radii

  20. Re:Good Question on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Fractions are bad? Try using decimals in any remotely high level math class and prepare to be laughed out the room.

  21. Not intended for production use on GIMP 2.7.2 Released — Another Step Toward 2.8 · · Score: 1

    Like every other version of GIMP?

  22. Re:warez versions of windows on Windows 8 App Store Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Given that the person had no interest in buying windows, do you really think they're going to be buying apps?

  23. United States of America is on US May Issue Terror Alerts On Facebook, Twitter · · Score: 1

    issuing a level red terror alert. 104,225 people like this.

  24. Re:And software development? on Which Grad Students Are the Most Miserable? · · Score: 1

    Don't hate the tool, hate the approach. I studied CS in college, and I use Excel for lots of things. It's the best tool for many jobs. The real problem is how they teach people to use Excel. I learned Excel because I also studied Chemistry, and the way they teach it is basically cookie cutter. You need to teach people programming from the ground up, so that they can solve problems they've never run into before, and maybe nobody else has ever solved before.

  25. This is ridiculous on Google Loses Autocomplete Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    the italian courts couldn't possible rule against google... unless... *types Berlusconi into google*... I see.
